The Clarion
Every few years, the Clarion undergoes a change. This time it was changed from
a weekly news-magazine to a bi-weekly paper since Principal Wilcox felt that students
put too much time on the school paper when it was issued weekly.
Donovan M. Jenkins stepped in this year to take charge of the faculty supervision
of the Clarion. Mr. Jenkins, however, didn't have a journalism class until the second
semester.
At the Eastern Interscholastic Publications Association convention held at Ithaca
during December, the Clarion was awarded honorable mention in the newspaper
group. The delegates, Alice Willson, Abe Miller, Harold Altman, and Donovan M.
Jenkins studied the publications of various other high schools.
The Clarion started the ball rolling for a change of student government by agitating
against the system of the Executive Council. Prizes were given to students who made
the best plans for change of school government.
The Christmas issue of this year's Clarion was one of the largest ever put out in
East High. The paper had three sections which included a literary and political
supplement besides the regular news section.
The financial status of the Clarion this year is unusually good. Very seldom does
the Clarion succeed in making a profit, and this year the Clarions of both terms returned
a fair monetary gain.
